It could be either or neither. Any application (including screen
savers) has the ability to leak memory and crash the entire computer,
or install bad DLLs.
However, that said, reliable installations do exist.

I have a very similar problem. I have in two months not been
able to get an answer. Currently by belief is that
I must have named running - even if I specify all
trusted hosts on local net.
If you get an answer, let me know.

The fact that it hasn't crashed on *your hardware* and *your software*
doesn't make it reliable. For example, if installing tetris on it makes
it crash randomly, then it is not reliable. It's not good enough to
only be "reliable" under special circumstances.

Hi Neil,
The Actiontec PCI Home Network works in Windows 95, 98 and NT.
It's Windows based and can not work in Linux. I heard from one

I've seen more per-hub dual-speed hubs than per-port ones. This
is probably changing, but right now I'm conservative. NetGear tends
to be higher-end than most, they're the consumer label for Bay

First is that you will probably need to set up samba to that win
machine with the printer. Then the winbox must set the printer for
share(probably already is), you then mount the printer in linux and
send the print files to its dir. Read the samba docs for specifics.
Anyway that is how I would approach it. you might check the following
to:
This site has a step by step howto for complete setup of samba. steps
for both linux and the win machine. (and they really work <G>)

Laziness? New users ask someone who's already set up a real IP network
for advice. The people they ask probably got a class C network number,
and they use a class C private network number so they simply can take
their configuration, change the network numbers and use it pretty much
verbatim. This leads to more people knowing how to set up a class C
private network, who pass this on to others, and so on.
For myself, it's philosophy. I use the smallest class of private network
number likely to handle the needs of the network. Home networks aren't
likely to exceed 254 hosts, so class C fits. For a company I'd pick the
10 network and do real subnetting, since sooner or later they're going
to need the address space ( assuming they don't go out of business first ).
The class B private networks seem to be pretty much ignored.

Nothing special is needed. All you need is call whoever is providing
your xDSL/ISP
connection, place your order.
You need an ethernet card. Or two and a hub(if you want to share the DSL
with other computers. You can skip the hub by using a cross over cable
if you only have one box to share.) Get the ethernet card installed and
detected properly (many ISP/DSL suppliers do not support Linux, just
don't tell them.)
When they come and install your DSL line, they should give you a DSL
modem, (or they might told you to buy one when you place the order.)
After the tech service guy finished the installation. You'll be given
your connection info (IP, DNS, gateway, netmask) Then, you just log in
as root,put those numbers into your network config file, save it. logout
from root, Connect the RJ45 cable to your ethernet card. (the first one,
the one ethe0, if you have more than one card.)
That's it.
If you want to share with other boxes, enable
ipforewarding/ipmasquerading/ipchaining/whatever your distro calls it,
put in 192.168.0.0 as the IP for the second card (ethe1) in the box
that's connecting to the internet, and use the IP 192.168.0.1 for the
ethernetcard for the second box...
and so on, and so on if you want to add more boxes later.

Subject: Strange PPP problem with HTTP pages greater that 1200bytes/Ricochet
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 18:17:49 -0700
Following my earlier posting, I have now worked-out that I can access
website, provided the pages they contain are less than 1200 bytes
(approximately).
Does anyone know of any reason why pages greater than that size might
fail to download?
My thought was that it is somehow due to the page suddenly being greater
than one MTU in size and therefore there is an error occuring when the
first packet is ACKed before the next packet is transmitted. However,
because I am not really that hot on TCP/IP I can't be certain.
Anyone else had a similar problem? Either with Ricochet or any other
type of modem?
Rik.

You might consider an additional linux box running Samba and attach the
printer to it.
This will offer printerservices for the Windows 98 environment and you'll be
able to print as well using either plain linux or connect linux to a samba
shared printer (works in SuSE 6.1). It doesn't have to be a "state of the
art" machine. A simple pentium 75 with 32 mb, 2 GB HDD will do the job
perfectly.This solution will even reduce the strain the win98 machine is
getting when prompted for it's printer services.

FWIW, this was asked a month or two ago, only the question

Subject: IBM PCI Etherjet Management adapter
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 01:04:36 GMT
I have some of these NIC cards and have found that for some reason they
all come up with the same MAC address...... ( no the cards are not
defective......... ) The Intel EtherPro100 driver ( same board,
IBM oem's them....... ) reports a checksum error during boot but other
than the mac address being wrong they seem to work fine. Of course with
several machines with the same mac address on a segment then routing
sure starts to look funny....... and slow.
I was wondering if anyone has tried out the Intel version of this card
( it will have an 82559 chipset...... the 82558's and 82557's all work
fine ) and has seen the same problem ? Just for grins I installed
one of these boards in an NT box and it readily identified the adapter
and installed its own driver for it....... and lo and behold it too
reported the same fictictious mac address for the card....... until
I refreshed the drivers from the IBM cdrom that came with the
NIC....... then suddenly it started reporting the mac address
correctly.........
I'm curious as to who changed what on these boards that the drivers that
worked for the 82558's still works but now we get a bogus mac
addr....... Is this only an IBM labeled product problem or does Intel
have the same problem as well........ ( I want to know so badly now
that I'll probably try and buy one this weekend if I can find one
locally )
TIA,
Dan
